The Mouser part picture does not look like a FT-240-31.

The FT-series of part numbers are PHONY part numbers, dreamed up many years ago by vendors who have sold them to hams for very high prices. The ACTUAL part number for a #31 2.4-in o.d. toroid, as defined by Fair-Rite, the company that MAKES these parts, is 2631803802. You will find that part number in Appendix One of my tutorial. Kits and Parts is one of those high price vendors. Amidon may have been the originator of this scam. Palomar and DXE are in that league as well. They created these phony baloney numbers so that you wouldn't find the part from a real industrial vendor at one third the price.

  The referenced part
number looks like it fits over a cable.
